Chery said it wants to sell cars in the United States at a “suitable” time, with international chief Zhang Guibing saying the company has no timetable yet.
Any move hinges on Chery’s readiness and policy conditions in both countries, with the U.S. still imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and tightening curbs on Chinese connected-car technology.
The U.S. remains a coveted but difficult target for Chinese automakers, even as Trump has signaled openness if they build vehicles locally and U.S. industry groups and lawmakers push back.
Chery has focused exports on Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and in January a company executive said a U.S. expansion announcement could come within 24 to 36 months.
